Training Your Audience: The Game of “Simon Says”

Leadership shows up in all areas of business and especially so from stage. In fact, to be on stage, you really do need to possess strong leadership skills. How else will you get your audience to respond to you and buy from you if you don’t show leadership?

  • You must let your audience know that you are the boss
  • Train them to be happy doing things that are normally out of their comfort zone
  • That way when you say to go to the back and take out their credit card they will feel less resistance
  • Use it. It works.

  15. 15e cigarette comparison on Jan 12, 2011 at 2:05 am:

    We all know formal testing of e-cigs has not been done. However, the idea that the FDA should ban these devices pending studies is asinine. It doesn’t take an FDA bean-counter in the pockets of Big-Pharma and Big-Tobacco to determine that e-cigs ARE, in fact, a healthier delivery system for nicotine than regular cigarettes, and the anecdotal evidence that MANY people are becoming ex-smokers as a result of using e-cigs is mounting quickly day-by-day. I have switched from cigarettes to e-cigs completely, and without discomfort or inconvenience. E-cigs are the best thing to come along for smokers since the invention of the Zippo lighter, and they simply MUST be kept available, studied, and eventually promoted as the new nicotine enjoyment paradigm!.
